Abstract:
Nowadays, application of ultrasonic wave technology as a novel method of enhancing oil recovery and also gas and oil well stimulation is prevailing. Not only this method is environment friendly, but also it is economic. Although the application of this method is proved to be of outstanding positive influences in field operations. In this study, it is intended to investigate the effect of ultrasonic waves on the rate and final recovery of miscible and immiscible injection of fluids as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods by using the Micro model apparatus and Although the effect of the waves on fluid flow through the porous media can be studied. The results of this work are a good guidance to better understanding of this method as an EOR method and finding the optimum conditions to apply this
